Started This Way

Hold me close when these words strike! I'll grab you by the hand, And take you somewhere new. (Take you somewhere new, take you somewhere new) 'Cause we need to escape this place, So we can be alone together. (Alone together) Well if I kissed you on the lips, Would it persuade you to go with me? (Go with me) Would you stay with me forever, Or disappear the next week? I can see your lips tremble, All I want is for you to say. You'll come along and go with me, To a secret place we can stay. It should've started this way... It should've started this way... We're at a dance, And I'm standing here. (I'm standing here, I'm standing here) I want to take you out, Everyone moves and the floor is clear. (Clear) My eyes are dazed and focused on you, I want to grab you around the waste and dance with you. (Dance with you) I can't shake off this fear, But I need to prove I'm true. I can see your lips are still trembling, I want you to say. You'll go to a secret place with me and stay... It should've started this way. It should've started this way. She's all mine, The one who keeps me in line. (We'll find our place in time) She is, So fine. I can't be, Nothing without her next to me. Without her... Oh yeah, here we are, No turning around we've gone too far. I never imagined you would go with me, It's processing in my head but I can't believe. Oh, girl, I would've never thought, You'd be the one I'd love a lot. The romance started it'll never stop, Stay with me, you'll be on top. (I know I'm flirting with you, But girl, you're doing it as well. God, you look so cute, That smile I could sell. You see my legs are shaking, Notice I almost fell. Our love I'll never be faking, You kiss and I'll tell.) Hey, girl, you're my type, We both know what you like. You're the girl that I like, Hold me close when these words strike. Hey, girl, you're my type, We both know what you like. You're the girl that I like, Hold me close, hold me close. It should've started this way. It should've started this way. She's so adorable when, She gets mad. She gets mad. She gets mad. She's so adorable the way she fails, Fails to impress. Fails, fails to impress me. Fails, fails to... Love to have her next to me, Love to have her next to me. Love to hold her, hold her, hold her. She's so freakin' adorable, You know she's unstoppable. She'll be the one to rule the world, Even when she's queen, she'll still be my baby girl. She's pretty, pretty, I know you're jealous of me. Jealous of me, jealous of me, I know you're jealous of me. She looks good in all her clothes, Looking fantastic, looking fantastic. Blue jeans, white blouse, With her hair up. It should've started this way. It should've started this way. It should've started this way, (I know) It should've started this way.
